Personalized Intuitive Eating Support

Ready to stop overthinking food and actually enjoy eating again?

I offer virtual 1:1 intuitive eating nutrition counseling for people who are exhausted from restriction, feeling out of control around food, and the constant mental noise around eating. My approach is non-diet, weight-inclusive, and rooted in intuitive eating. I work virtually with clients in Colorado and beyond, and we stay together for six months to get underneath what's actually driving the pattern, not just manage the symptoms.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

  • Eating that feels steady and normal, not carefully controlled one week and completely off the rails the next.
  • Understanding what's actually driving the obsession with food, because it's usually not what you think.
  • Less mental noise around meals, ingredients, and whether you're doing it right.
  • A genuine relationship with food that feels satisfying and sustainable, whether that includes more plants or just peace around what you're already eating.
  • More trust in yourself around food, built over time through real experience.

Tired of Making Food So Complicated?

You know the feeling. You try to eat well, and somehow it turns into obsession. You want to feel normal around food. Satisfied, relaxed, free from the constant mental noise, but you're not sure how to get there.

The 5 Days to Food Peace series is a free, gentle introduction to what that actually looks like.

Five days. One short email a day. No meal plans, no rules, no pressure. Just an honest conversation about making peace with food from a non-diet dietitian who's been in the trenches of this work for over a decade.
